Well, if I died before my dogs it wouldn't matter if they ate what remained or not to me! They just bury or creamate dead people's remains so it would be that much less that needed disposing after death. If the dog ran out in the road & got run over, I wouldn't see any problem with eating a dead dog if you were so desperate for food that dog meat would be appetizing but why eat a dog if there are other things available to eat? It doesn't make any sense. Another Saletan article written for the responses it will get... (monkey-fishing much lately?)
